I'm going to boost but choose SC over turbo. And it is my DD also.

You plan on using the reflash with 5psi? Would this be safer than 8psi with the flash?

Damn man, thats what I like to hear...

Quicksilver: I would be running a UTEC tune not the reflash.

Im running a turbonetics kit as well, and the z is my daily driver. Had no problems before boosting it, or after. I have a turbonetic reflash, 5 psi spring, upgraded injectors and my max was 362whp and 365 torque.

i had a compression test and leakdown test done at valley nissan by a senior master mechanic. the test came back w/ flying colors. bought the GTM TN vehicle and 2 hours later blew a rod. keep in mind the G was boosted for about 8000 soft miles or so i heard. the bottom line is, if you plan on ST/TT your DD make sure you have enough money laying around just in case it goes KABOOM and please get it done right the first time by a mechanic that has done boosted numerous Z/G w/ great success. if only i could do it again...g'luck!

...i give it 5 minutes

OP btw... why 5 psi on TN kit? that 8-9 its barely reaching 400whp... worry more about finding a good tuner or check other kit options if you want.
